Does leaving Thailand reset the 90-day reporting requirement for a retirement visa?

I did my first 90-day report in person while on a one year extension of stay for retirement. Before my next 90-day reporting date will come due, I used a single-entry permit to leave and return after 7 days.

My understanding is that the re-entry resets the 90-day reporting period to "day 1", and the new report date is now due 90 days from the date that I re-entered Thailand.

I am asking to confirm because there is nothing indicating a new date in the stamp in my passport, etc. - I only have the now-outdated paper 90-day receipt and nothing except the re-entry stamp to go by. So is it just up to me to determine and submit the report by the self-calculated date? I don't want to run up any fines without knowing it. Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary
When you leave Thailand and re-enter with a single-entry permit, the 90-day reporting period resets. The new reporting date is calculated as 90 days from your re-entry date, which is considered 'day 1'. It’s important to add 89 days to your re-entry stamp date to determine your new report date. While the immigration office might not provide a new stamp for the reporting period, you are responsible for keeping track and ensuring you report on time to avoid fines.

Yes it resets the 90 day count with the day you enter being day 1. Your immigration office may want to see a new TM30 within 24 hours of entering though, the person responsible for the place you stay should do that

How do I know if I needed to do a TM30 the day after I arrived? This is the first I have heard of that. Do you a reference? I know i was asked for a tm30 when I did the 90 day report- and my building management can include the date I 'booked' back in I suppose

It's a report of "90 days in Thailand". Continuous. If you've done less then that's not 90 so you don't report.
